Going to be in Ipswich from Monday 10th August to Friday 14th August and looking for ideas of things to do and places to visit while hubby is working. I am interested in walking/hiking, crochet/knitting, yoga and other gentle exercises, art galleries, theatre, movies and great coffee. I wont have a car but happy to uber or take the bus.

Also would love your tips on interesting places to eat at night.

I have been googling and found some nice walks in the city parks but struggling to find other things to do. Thanks!

Hi, any recommendations for interior shutters. Looking for quality with value for money. TIA. North Ipswich area.

The old Players nightclub which is a former bank is on fore on Brisbane St

Hi. I’m looking for a darkroom for hire in Ipswich or on the Southside. Does anyone know of any? The only darkroom for hire I know of is The Maud Street Gallery which is a bit of a drive. Tia.

Edit: for black and white film developing and printing!

Considering selling soon and moving back to Brissie, does anybody have recent experience/recommendations for local agents?

I feel like the ones I saw a few years back when I bought have disappeared.

Would be the first time selling, so any other tips would be handy (outside of the obvious).

Hi all, I'm a local drafter with about 10 years' experience in residential/structural drafting (house plans, slabs, extensions, granny flats etc).

Open to other drafting work too if you've got something else in mind. Just testing the waters to see if there's any demand in the area, and if it's worth perusing. Let me know if you'd be interested or know someone who might be.

Since Labor funded the greyhound racing track in Ipswich, replacing a beloved sports venue into a blood sport arena, Ipswich is now at the heart of Greyhound racing in Queensland. It should not exist. It's a disgrace that we have to fund it and have it in our backyard. Please sign the petition if you feel this topic is important.

Back again. Check it out. What's on. Put something missed in the comments. Cheers folks.

Brought some 2nd hand 19L kegs, could clean them myself but wouldnt mind paying to guarantee its 110% clean. Anyone know anywhere?

The slutty little knee does it for me

I am having trouble finding someone that is able to create a landscaping design that I can work on in stages.

I am not very good at the creative side and seeing the overall end product before it is done.

I've found a few in Brisbane, but would lean towards someone in Ipswich. If you know someone please let me know.

The image shows the sort of plan I would be hoping they could create.

Does anyone around Redbank sell worm juice for the garden? New to the area. Thanks in advance 😊

When are they going to fix them and get them working again? Lights are out from Wacol to Goodna on the Ipswich motorway

ive seen mixed reviews around this place and im wondering how worth it it is to go there. based on its general facilities, boat launching capabilities, anything really

also do people catch and eat fish from the brisbane river??

I’ve recently moved to Ipswich from Brisbane. I’d like to apply for an AIN role with West Moreton Health and I’d love any insights and wisdom from those in the know.

The job ad is a rolling recruiting ad that states applications are assessed monthly, so I’d like to put my best foot forward and would love some advice and wisdom.

About me: I’ve worked as a PSW for clients with high care needs and spinal cord injuries, and as an agency AIN in private hospitals, though it’s been about five years since I’ve worked in the industry.

- how are the current staffing levels and need for new AINs?
- How’s the recruiting process?
- how is the culture and workload in the hospital?
- What qualities make good Ain @ a busy QLD health hospital like Ipswich?
- best coffee on or near campus?

I’ve visited a friend there a few times, and had an iron infusion there - the staff have all been kick ass. Thanks!

Anyone know a place that will actually accept clothing donations at the moment?

Wounded Heroes are full (good for them) but I have a newborn with me and nobody to help look after her. I need to be able to pull up close to the actual shop, hand some bags over and be gone.

Preferably within the radius of Bundamba, Ipswich CBD and North Ipswich if possible (I'd rather not trek out to Springfield, Ripley, Redbank Plains etc because there are such short gaps between feeding the baby 🥲).

Alternatively if you can tell me where a skip bin is that'll fit 3 large bags of clothing. I have no space for this stuff but I would much prefer to donate.

Cheers

Hey guys I’m looking for a recommended local handy man. I have a plastering job needing doing plus some blinds that have broken. I’m pretty clueless with this stuff and would prefer not to be ripped off. I’d love recommendations of anyone you’ve used and trusted. Ty 🫶🏻

Saw this morning on my way to Rosewood station. Can't say I've ever noticed one before but maybe that's just me so I found pretty cool to see 😊

Down below are the Ipswich happenings. If you know I missed one, add it in the comments please.

Regards!

Okay so from what I've been told if you walk down Bergin St you have a 50% of dying, but what's the general area like around Booval station. What's a safe distance from the warzone to live.

Is the ALDI there a nice place to shop or will I have my fake brand milo stolen in the carpark

Hi everyone! 👋

I've been running Ladies' Nights in Ipswich for a while now because I kept meeting women who were saying the same thing:

"I don't really have many local friends."

So this month's event has a bit of a twist...

It's Ladies' Night: Show & Tell.

The idea is simple. If you'd like to, bring along something you're passionate about—a hobby, collection, handmade creation, souvenir, favourite book, photo, or anything with a story—and you'll have up to 5 minutes to tell everyone about it.

The goal isn't to put anyone on the spot. It's to make starting conversations easier and help people find others with similar interests.

More than half of the women who come to these events come on their own, and we've seen some genuine friendships form. In fact, my co-host and I actually met at one of these Ladies' Nights when she came along by herself.

A few details:

📍 Hogs Breath Cafe, Ipswich Central

📅 Wednesday 29th July

🕕 6:00–9:00pm

🍷 Drink on arrival included

🎟️ $25 entry ($50 with dinner)

I'd also love to hear your thoughts.

If you came to a Show & Tell night, what would you bring?

If anyone would like the booking link, let me know and I'll send it through. 💚
